The Mathematical Model

The induced magnetic field for three-dimensional bio-convective flow of Casson nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms along a vertical stretching sheet is investigated. The movement of these microorganisms cause bioconvection and they act as bio-active mixers that help in stabilising the nanoparticles in the suspension. The two forces, Thermophoresis and Brownian motion are incorporated in the Mathematical model along with Stefan blowing. The resulting model is transformed to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and are solved using [Formula: see text] method. The Velocity, Induced Magnetic field, Temperature, Concentration of Nanoparticles, and Motile density profiles are interpreted graphically. It is observed that the Casson parameter decreases the flow velocity and enhances the temperature, concentration, and motile density profiles and also it is noticed that the blowing enhances the nanofluid profiles whereas, suction diminishes the nanofluid profiles. On the other hand, it is perceived that the rate of heat conduction is enhanced with Thermophoresis and Brownian motion.

The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.
